Toy making tradition in India is as old
as its history. Children from the Indus
valley civilization used to play with small
clay toys. A large variety of materials
are used to make traditional toys and dolls.
Clay, papier-mâché, coir, leather,
cloth etc are used in making traditional
toy and dolls. Painted wooden toys from
Tirupati are popular so are the stuffed
leather toys from Madhya pradesh and Karnataka.
